Jan Andresen was appointed a new CEO of zweitgeist GmbH in January 2007. The 30-year-old has been supporting the two founders Dr. Heiner Wolf and Christine Stumpf since December. The zweitgeist idea of making people visible on web pages convinced the entrepreneur and business angel to become involved in the company, with full responsibility.

Andresen founded the company elkware in 1994 while he was still at school. Following his studies (industrial engineering and management), the company was realigned to the mobile games sector. elkware quickly became an international market leader with subsidiaries and offices in New York and London. More than 100 mobile phone games had been published by 2004. The titles were installed on mobile terminals more than 100 million times worldwide. At the end of 2004, elkware GmbH was sold to the American group Infospace Inc. for 26 million US Dollars. Just as he recognised elkware’s high potential in a developing mobile market at the time, he now sees a high growth potential for zweitgeist. “Like elkware in the mobile games sector then, zweitgeist GmbH, with its new social software, today reflects the Web 2.0 zeitgeist,” says Andresen. As new CEO of zweitgeist GmbH, Jan Andresen is responsible for sales, business development and investor relations, complementing the areas of responsibility of Dr. Heiner Wolf, development and technology, and Christine Stumpf, marketing and PR.
